In the last thirty years, South Asia, Caucasus and the Middle East regions have seen an increase in the number of theaters of terrorism and insurgency. Attacks have often become bloodier, and terrorist campaigns have become more effective in achieving this aim. There are trends which show that even though certain groups are unrelated and no formal links are shared, there are lessons learned from each other's past experiences. The Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) are what are often learned from each other depending on their relative success and potential transfer to a different conflict in a different environment. There are certain characteristics which highlight similarities in TTPs suggesting a transfer of information. In this INEGMA Special Report groups such as LTTE, Chechens, Al Qaeda Iraq, Al Qaeda Yemen, Houthis, and others are examined. Each group brings their own expertise and experience which others can look to. There are obvious transfers of information, be it informally or formally. The challenge is for military forces to develop appropriate countermeasures to deter attacks.
